So, is there any way to reliably 'reset' your initiation progress for satanic/demonic societies? Since I tried joining 'the cold ones' (slavic) and got to the point where I have carved their sign into my arm. So I did that...but then nothing happened. I waited a few years or so, then stopped expressing interest in the order. Waited around a year (need to wait a few months before you can try again, from memory) and tried again, but nothing is happening at all, now.

Try joining a different society? Or if you're not on iron man you could look up the relevant event and fire it manually.

What I don't like about the latest DevDiary is that all the terms are... boring. Like feudal contract is low or high?.. Crown Authority is 1, 2, 3 and 4?.. Meh. I also wonder which Christian states are clan. Maybe some Orthodox are?

Yeah, me too. This was my least favorite dev diary so far Also if crown authority is returning, we no longer will have control over all those specific laws we have on CK2? If that's the case, is a step back

Elias_Maluco posted:I just never felt pressed to keep fighting then. They are annoying, for sure, but it wont take that much gold so let them have their fun. Raising levies to go after them every time makes it 300% more annoying like sure i can jive with not caring about some vassal getting raided but when you're talking about being too tired to ctrl click a single county to have the local levies fight it out for 3 days that is definitely some next-level loving ennui.

Coolguye posted:i'm talking about literally raising personal levies from a specific county to smash a raid that is currently on top of the county. the original question talked about Constantinople, the bloody capitol. Yeah, I get tired of doing that, when I have lots of coastal provinces and they keep on coming like every 5 months Is much less annoying to ignore them then to raise levies, disband levies, every loving time. I get annoyed enough putting down rebelions, but these unfortunately I cant always ignore

Perhaps playing as the Chief of Kola might be more to your liking?

Or I can just ignore raiders like I said I do? Im not saying it is a problem for me, Im saying its not: I just ignore I only once played Byz, anyway. I like to start small (and vassal) and build my way up. And when I get big and rich enough to be getting raided a lot, is usually when Im rich enough to let them raid as they please

Elias_Maluco posted:Yeah, me too. This was my least favorite dev diary so far It sounds like you'll just get the ability to toggle those abilities at different levels of authority. You can barely do anything if you're just the chief of a decentralized tribal nation, and you need a lot of authority if you're going to restrict your vassals from fighting eachother. You get more direct control over inheritance law. I don't think there's any real loss here. I don't see gender rights anywhere along there, so maybe they'll be under mechanic. They've already implied that there'll be other mechanics for altering your religion that presumably include investiture.

Even relatively small countries can get loving inundated with raids. My Suomi covered Finland, Novgorod and the baltic states and I was being raided and losing sieges ALL THE TIME. It sucks, gently caress raiding.

Coolguye posted:In situations like this, control-click the 'raise liege levies' button on the county. Your personal levies organize at max morale so force-raising your levies of a jillion dudes will smash these mosquito bites and keep them from sucking your blood for a few years. After the raid is crushed you can just dismiss the levies again. yes thanks that's why i said i do that in my post

DrPop posted:yes thanks that's why i said i do that in my post you said you had to put a retinue there, which is not true for personally held counties - the levies there spawn at max morale, it is only vassal levies that start at poor morale.

One trick that I've discovered for dealing with raiders is when they try to flee back to their ships, raise levies in the county they were just raiding. The raiders are held in place for your actual relief force to come and defeat them.

Ignoring raiders burning down your empire because you are too busy organising feasts might the most Emporer thing you can do. Good roleplay, everyone!

Kinda weird that the tooltip for Merchant Republic government says they cannot grant kingdom tier titles to anyone of another government group (presumably to non-republics), yet I can freely grant them to feudal vassals. Tried it with a theocracy and it doesn't allow that, though. The only feudal vassals I have are dynasts, so they tend to like me enough to nullify the Wrong Government penalty. It's also nice to have another source of dynasty prestige by handing those titles out.

I'm glad in CK3 raiding sieges will have a different popup but i still don't get why they don't in CK2.

I'm trying to mend the great schism and I've got 4 out of 5 bishoprics restored. Which leaves me with... Rome. I can CB them to turn them into a tributary state, would suzerainity count as the "complete control" I need? And would it give me enough standing to get an orthodox bishop in there somehow? The only other plan I can see is to just forge a claim on Rome.

# ? Mar 17, 2020 06:56 |

You're a christian so whoever holds Italy should be willing to marry you somewhere on their family tree and from there you're a few murders away from pressing a weak claim. Well assuming the latium kingdom is no more, which usually happens. From there Rome is dejure so you can bully the pope from there.

Honestly, forging a claim on Rome is the most hassle-free way to do it.

Funky Valentine posted:Honestly, forging a claim on Rome is the most hassle-free way to do it. This. Before Holy Fury, I would start a game as a Byzantine Emperor and immediately set my chaplain to forge a claim on it. Even if it took 10 or 20 years, at least you had getting Rome out of your mind relatively quickly, and could concentrate on smashing Abbasids. With the new mechanics in Holy Fury, it's better to wait until you have the other four seats before conquering Rome, lest an angry pope takes measures against you. You can also use the Jade Dragon CB, county conquest.

Probably also a good idea to disable the Fourth Crusade mechanics, unless you're confident in your ability to siege down the Papacy before you get steamrolled.

I always justify Aztec Invasion as whatever mysterious power that made one ruler’s dynasty omnipotent had a butterfly effect on the Aztecs.
